It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I am white so I hereby officially give every hexbear user permission to use the words cracker, mayo and gammon, as well as to say anything you want about white people. If questioned about it please refer them back to this post where I am officially giving you the mayo-pass.

Of course. It all comes under the umbrella of the mayo-pass.

It's all fun and games to create and benefit from a system of racial hierarchy, right up until someone fucks it all up by describing the system accurately

Racism was invented by Trotsky to silence white people from being racist.

I'm still new to lemmy. I'm a reddit migrant.

I joined in the first wave, and I was pleased to see a large leftist presence here. It was a bit refreshing, compared to the constant lib shit (or outright conservative takes) that was the norm on reddit.

Then the second wave of migrants hit and with it came ALL of the reactionaries. Suddenly Ukraine war news was hitting the front of my all page every day, with all of the usual, very liberal arguments in support of continuing the war indefinitely. Anyone to the left of bernie Sanders was being heavily downvoted, and all of the new libs were complaining about "Freedom of speech" not being enough here because of the early, big defederations that happened, while simultaneously demanding mods of their instances deliberately silence anyone to the left of their neolib brains.

It's kind of infuriating. The word "tankie" has been eroded just like the word "woke" was by the right. It used to mean authoritarian leftist, now it's being used to mean "anyone who doesn't support US imperialist dogma uncritically."

I liked lemmy more when it wasn't full of libs.

White people really do think that racism is just interpersonal dislike of other cultures and not some giant labyrinth of exploitation and colonialism. Every time it comes up shit just blows my mind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

One problem is everyone still uses it that way, even people who have to constantly explain what systemic means will see some raging chud and say "that fucking racist guy"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

Whiteness is an arbitrary construct used to exclude outgroups and set legislation that justified their brutalization of exploitation.

At certain points in history, Slavic people, Italian people, Irish people, and Jews were considered non-white.

It's a false equivalence to compare individuals being anti-white to the recent forms of racism (separate schools and water fountains) or ongoing forms of racism (redlining, media narratives around looting, policing).

Can this spawn of Yakub shut up?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah that piece of shit is just a white nationalist

Easiest solution to anti-white "racism" is to stop identifying with whiteness, it's not a real ethno-cultural identity centered around language or kinship, instead it's an inherently supremacist construct wedded to social exclusion and domination

If you identify with that shit you are a racist

I like how they are starting to realize we have the moral high ground. So they have to try and attack us on it and the best they can come up with is us making fun of crackers.

The Hexbear Question

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I wonder what demonic activities white people have done to garner such hatred?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Woo I made the dunk tank! Basically a badge of honor for anyone actually anti-bigotry!

Doubt I'll respond to any comments here, so y'all have as much fun as you want with your racism.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

why does it smell like farts in here all of a sudden

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

There is no white race

There is no white culture

There is no anti-white racism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Whiteness is made up bull,shit invented to justify oppression of people that aren't arbitrarily included into it. Stop identifying with it.
